theres not but the basics are as follows

You need to cut a lot from the sides as the corsa dash is round and the astra is oval.
Best thing is to cut a small piece and try to fit.
You neet to cut a V out of the metal lower part of the dash, because the dash is 4 cm wider.
It is possible that the dash only fits with a lot of force on the sides.
No prob, close the doors for a few days and the dash will keep its shape.
Best way to work also is with your windscreen removed makes it Easier to fit the dash. The middle bolt on the dash needs to be longer also.
